Jeremy Carver To Step In As Co-Showrunner At ‘Supernatural’
Posted about 6 hours ago by Jason Bowles0
Sera Gamble, one of the showrunners on the program ‘Supernatural‘ has opted not to renew her contract and has instead chosen to focus her energy on development. Gamble has been with the CW show since its beginning, running the show for the last two seasons along with fellow showrunner Robert Singer, who will remain with the program.
Stepping into her role will be Jeremy Carver (right), of Syfy’s ‘Being Human,’ which he co-executive produced and developed along with his wife Anna Fricke. Fricke will remain at ‘Being Human’ and will run the show solo.
Carver does have a history with ‘Supernatural’ having served as a co-producer, writer and story editor during the 2009-10 season, before departing for ‘Being Human,’ which he developed along with Fricke, based on the British original series. He will maintain his “Executive Producer” credit on that show.
Previously, ‘Supernatural’ was run by its creator, Eric Kripke, who stepped down from the position in 2010, which was when Gamble and Singer took over day-to-day duties. He remains an “Executive Consultant.”
For those unsure of what all this means, a showrunner generally outranks a director. While a director crafts individual episodes of a television program, the show runner is tasked with running the overall, day-to-day aspects of a series. The showrunner is in charge of managing and guiding the entire series.
‘Being Human’ has been growing in its popularity and Carver already has a history with ‘Supernatural’, so by all accounts this should be a smooth transition. What do you all think of this staffing change?

I have to say, I am happy. I like Gamble as a writer, but as a showrunner she has completely failed imo. She had two seasons and most likely even a third one and instead of planning a storyline which could have been well developed in three years, she just got by.

I know it's not like that, I know canon says it was unreal...but still...
Lazarus Rising is one of the best episodes of SPN.
Missed you.

Because the end failed Dean so much for me. I know that everyone think that it was everything in Sam's mind, but I still have the bad feeling it wasn't and it was real. If it was so, they would have deprived Dean of his free will, of part of his life...so I loved the episode until the last scene.
I'm not following how the end deprived Dean of his free will. Would you mind expounding on it a bit more?
As for how the episode was depicted in the canon, I always got the impression it was very real, and in fact have a nice little theory about how the Trickster's actions actually racked up more hell time for Dean, which contributed to his ultimate breaking while in Hell. Just because Dean didn't remember those six months down under doesn't mean they didn't happen. Add for more months Earth time and that makes a hundred years...the same time Alastair claimed John held out for before escaping. Plus the hundred plus deaths and restarts of the day...that could easily add up in Hell time.
Its my way of evening out the Hell year experiences between Dean and Sam (even if I think Sam's worstest Hell eva with Lucifer was never as bad as what Alastair put Dean through, but that's just me being a Deangirl).
Lol, okay, putting my theories away. ;)

Very long, be careful!

Perfect! :D *is off to read* Thanks for the link!
Edit: Okay, I understand now what you meant. Agreed that it was sucky for Dean to not know. But I always believed that Sam wouldn't have been able to hide the changes in himself afterwards and that Dean caught on. In Season 3, Sam was keeping secrets by far more poorly than in Season 4 because he was also desperate to save Dean.
At any rate, my personal fanon in that regard is that Tessa gave Dean back those memories when she kissed him in 4.15 so he could remember their first encounter. Its fits with Dean's anger and extra bite towards the Trickster/Gabriel when they meet him again in 5.08. But that's just me fanwanking it since the Show kinda swept it under the rug...like most Dean plots *sighs*
